Bilal Maqsood urges fans to report fake Anwar Maqsood accounts!

Renowned Pakistani singer Bilal Maqsood recently took to Twitter to address a concerning matter related to a fake account impersonating his father, the legendary writer and satirist, Anwar Maqsood. Bilal expressed worry about his father’s safety due to such deceptive activities and urged his followers to report the fake account.

The singer clarified that his father does not use social media and the authentic account only had three posts, created to report all the fake ones. He emphasized that these fraudulent tweets pose a risk to his father’s life and requested everyone to report the account.

These kinds of fake tweets only put my Abbu’s life in danger. This guy has already blocked me. Please can you all report this account. Abbu does not post anything on social media. His actual account has only 3 posts. We made that account so we can report all the fake ones. pic.twitter.com/BP5G749sEy
